[Solved] How to make FileLister output the filename in the url instead of ...

Now it’s

tools.html?fd=GARBLEDSTUFF instead of Microsoft PowerPoint - Helena_Paloj.pdf


I want to add a pdf icon to all pdf links but because the garbled link doesn’t show the extension pdf or doc I can’t add the pdf or word icon in front of it. Any ideas how to do this, I don’t mind the urls being garbled but as long as I can display the right icon for the right filetype.

Ok I found it myself after experimenting a bit.

I don’t know if this is the correct way but it works.

Create a chunk e.g. containing this code:



then in your resource do




I still don’t understand where [[+path]] is coming from but it works.

Nice point here!
I'm facing a similar problem here: when FileLister is generating its URL for a large file (almost 80Mb), the files become unavailable for the user in Chrome.
That's why I want to get rid of this coding.

However, if I use the method shown above, I get broken links for directories:

instead of getting


I get

which leads me to the page listing the contents of the directory in the browser-native way.

How can I specify the type of link?
E.g. for files I get the regular link with no encoding, and for directories I would use the typical encoded paths.
